Would you like it to be moist?

Thumbs up for "high on life"......It's a goal that I am reaching for myself (not lame at all).

As far as being concerned about going into BRC when you are already in a great relationship, I've seen a lot of couples in our camp come and go and breakup and cheat (also hook up and strengthen their relationship), but you can usually tell which will survive or not before they get there (NOT the great ones....just the mediocre ones). I don't feel like Burning Man causes breakups.....it just speeds up the inevitable.

And as far as moist dicks go, I prefer to start with a dry one.

I don't now about falling in love, persay, but I did meet a special person at BM 07' & she moved in for a year

Great friends & she is an official COFFEE CAMP member (Camp Photographer). I like what brigitami said, "speeds up the inevitable". The week out in the desert is like an accelerator/amplifier. If you are truly happy & open with your partner before you go there, then chances are it will make it even deeper, and the vice versa...
...the d e p t h of feelings/emotions we have & are capable of as humans does not discriminate between postive or negative. Try to have a balanced perspective. As well, it would be safe to assume that your significant other is capable of the same feelings & to the same depths

I'm pretty sure I can safely say...fate is a bitch? lol.

2010 will be my first BM. Since I'm considered to be a part of the New Generation? Falling in love with someone while there seems to be a dream come true. Gaining Friends for life is even bigger. I hope I have a similar story to what all of you have put down on virtual txt. :D

As a seasoned grizzeled old veteran, let me say don't mistake falling in love with falling in lust. There's plenty of the latter going around.

Lust've?

The playa is a confusing place.

Im gonna side with doc here. itd be hard to find love on the playa. besides the fact theyll probably live on the other side of the country, the playa is generally a place of lust, frolic, and experimenting.

hell, that furry, glitter-covered lass you spent the past 3 days with may end up going back home to an existing boyfriend. you never really know out there.

Ugly Dougly · Post by **Ugly Dougly** » Tue Feb 16, 2010 2:51 pm

Every year that I attend, I have brought my own water, food and shelter.
If I do not bring these things, should I be surprised that I can't find any on the playa?

Good advice on or off the playa, Doc.

If you want to find Victorian, look for the beetle car and the pink Caboodles.

Victorian · Post by **Victorian** » Wed Feb 24, 2010 6:06 pm

Damn. You all know me far too well already.

Yeah, you're all right. My hut will be pretty easy to find. Next to the decepticon, and all the pink... and all the lizards..

Better see you at the M&G thursday at barbie death camp.

Rice · Post by **Rice** » Sat Feb 27, 2010 11:58 am

Metropolis will be my fourth burn.

I have not met my soul mate, actually I have not been looking... The playa has given me experiences that I needed. Sure it has been horrible, wonderful, scary, amazing. In the end I am a better person as a result. My heart has been healing, my attitude is improving. Some day I may be open to love, maybe today or next year. I will just know it is right.

When I truly can say that I love me, I will be ready to love... At some point I will break out of my shell! Sure it may not work out in the end, but nothing comes without risk. We will not be anything if we are not friends.

Talk to me! Tolerate me! Love yourself....

I love hearing other peoples stories, the love stories in this thread are great. Thanks to all who shared their stories. I appreciate the gift!

Victorian, here's my thinking... If you do burning man right you can learn a lot about your self - and your relationship. Just by not going with your partner you are learning a lot already. It is a great place to confront your fears head on.

My partner and I have been to three burns together as a couple so far. It has done nothing but strengthen our relationship. We are amazingly compatable. I've seen many other couples have, lets just say, difficult times about/at burning man and the issues it brings up. Seriously. Myself, for years I knew people that would go to burning man, and they knew me. They all said to me, "You've got to go! You and burning man are made for each other." Year after year I would blow them off -- too busy, or some other excuse. It didn't help that my wife at the time refused to talk about it. In fact, she used to say, "If you ever mention burning man one more time we're getting a divorce!" Yea. Seriously. So. Well. We split up. The point: Burning Man was not good for that relationship. However, escaping that prison/relationship enabled me to find the Perfect Partner. I've never been happier. I never knew a relationship could be this good.

That's beautiful TwoHott.

As of late, and after lurking this forum for about 2 months. I'm learning alot about myself already in the answers I make alone.

Whatever does happen, happens. Learning to not have expectations, and letting go of fears, will make sure I have a better time.

Of course I don't plan on leaving my boyfriend, but then again, who knows what I'll find out there...

We're always talking about my trip, he and I, we understand that I need this for myself. For who I am.
